     Uh, no, there is not.  You're replying to the individual but you are
doing so by posting to the list.  You're letting your own semantical hang-ups
blind you to the obviousness of what that header is for.

     No, there is not.  There is exactly 1 reference to reply-to and it has no
bearing on how reply-to isused in the list context.

     The point is the header is there, you're just ignoring it over your own
misconceptions.
